Upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) is very less common studied clinical entity. In comparison to lower extremity DVT, incidence of UEDVT is much less. Clinical importance of this entity is increased because of its fatal complication like pulmonary embolism. USG is the first investigation to be done because it is cheap and noninvasive. In this article we present a case of internaljugular vein thrombosis, which came to us with upper limb and neck cellulitis. USG neck revealed thrombus in left IJV extending to subclavian and axillary vein. Patient was managed conservatively with anti-platelets agent. DVT of upper limb due to IJV thrombosis is scarcely reported.
